Raconteur’s mission is simple: to share the world’s best writing & artwork, especially from undiscovered talent.
We do this by publishing engaging, eclectic, and thoughtful prose, poetry, and artwork three times a year, in e-book and print formats.
Our 100% volunteer team is made up of writers, and exceptional literature inspires our own work. Raconteur is about more than just publishing a magazine—it’s about strengthening the writing community. It’s about connecting us, turning new writers into pros, then continuing to pay it forward.
And we are, at our core, a community ...
We treat our members well and invest dollars earned back into Raconteur, whether that means continuously raising author rates, or holding writing contests with cash prizes.
We’ll do what we can to help you showcase your writing & artwork.
We are keen to encourage quality, so suggest writers to check their stories before submitting using Prowritingaid. They have free and paid versions and are the best writing software we know to help improve grammar, readability and check for repetition, ‘sticky’ sentences and suggest alternatives.
